The invention relates to the field of composite materials, and in particular, relates to a preparation method of modified
graphene oxide and a method for preparing an
epoxy resin composite material by applying the modified
graphene oxide. The preparation method of the modified
graphene oxide comprises the following steps: 1, preparing aminated graphene oxide; 2, further preparing
bromine-terminated graphene oxide; 3, preparing a
monomer containing a
catechol group; 4, preparing an
intermediate product from the
bromine-terminated graphene oxide and a
monomer containing a
catechol group; and 5, reacting the
intermediate product with
tetrabutylammonium fluoride to obtain the modified graphene oxide containing the
catechol group. The preparation method of the
epoxy resin composite material comprises the following steps: adding the modified graphene oxide into the
epoxy resin, uniformly stirring and mixing, performing
ultrasonic dispersion, adding the curing agent, uniformly stirring and mixing, performing
vacuum drying, removing bubbles, and pouring into a mold for curing and molding. According to the modified graphene oxide prepared by the method provided by the invention, the compatibility with an epoxy
resin matrix can be improved by low-dosage addition, and the
mechanical property of an epoxy nano
composite material can also be improved.
